According to the APC candidate, who arrived the polling unit shortly after 12 noon, “I am worried about the intimidation of APC supporters by the Police. They having been arresting key APC Chieftains. From the calls I got, Police have been arresting APC Chairmen. In some other cases our supporters have been brutalized by thugs aided by the Police”.
